Fantasy Tip: Del Rio is a defensive-minded coach, so the fate of Derek Carr and the rest of the offense are a bit unclear until after the rest of the coaching staff is assembled. There is reason to believe that Murray has a bright future ahead of him.

The Denver Broncos and defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio agreed to terms Thursday, Feb. 6, on a new two-year contract. The deal is expected to be finalized Friday, Feb. 7. "Jack did a nice job with our defensive," executive vice president of football operations John Elway said. "We had a lot of injuries on that defensive side and Jack did a good job holding that side together. Even in the Super Bowl, our defense kept us in the game in the first half."

Denver Broncos defensive coordinator and interim head coach Jack Del Rio said he doesn't plan to tinker with the team's offensive game plan much at all as he takes over for head coach John Fox (heart). Offensive coordinator Adam Gase will call the offensive plays and QB Peyton Manning will make audibles at the line. "I'm not going in tinkering with things on offense or special teams. We have good people there, and they're doing their jobs," Del Rio said.

Fantasy Tip: The offense in Denver is Manning's show, so not a whole lot will change in Week 10 against the San Diego Chargers. Start all of their offensive playmakers as you have been all season.

Denver Broncos interim head coach Jack Del Rio will still make the defensive calls on game day, and will still keep the role of defensive coordinator. Del Rio will also work closely with QB Peyton Manning and the other quarterbacks on the roster.

Denver Broncos head coach John Fox is scheduled to undergo heart surgery and will miss several weeks. Fox knew about the condition and was hoping to wait until after the season to have surgery.

Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio will stay with the team through the end of the season. Del Rio has been a rumored candidate for the vacant head coach position at the University of Southern California.

Former NFL head coach Jack Del Rio may not be ready to return to coaching in 2012. The Jacksonville Jaguars still owe Del Rio $5 million, while his son is also a hotly recruited high school quarterback.

Former Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio said he never lost the locker room this season and that players continued to play hard under him. "We never gave in to that, the players never gave in to that. I think when you look at the way the team is fighting, competing, you really should be proud of that. No one likes to lose," Del Rio said.

Former Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio wasn't liked inside the team's facility the past couple of years, and there were many inside who felt once Del Rio got paid his big contract he lost the zest for being a head coach. According to sources, Del Rio was coming into the office later in the mornings most days and leaving early, which rubbed his staff the wrong way. It also rubbed the front office the wrong way.

Jacksonville Jaguars owner Wayne Weaver would not comment on the future of head coach Jack Del Rio when asked about the situation following Week 12. "Now is not the time," Weaver said. "That's for another day."

Although free-agent QB David Garrard (Jaguars) was scheduled to make $8.075 million this season, Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio and owner Wayne Weaver each said the decision to release him was not financial. "I can say that this decision was pure football," Del Rio said.

The Jacksonville Jaguars' selection of QB Blaine Gabbert in the NFL Draft puts head coach Jack Del Rio's future at considerably greater risk. Del Rio, who was essentially given a playoff-or-else ultimatum by owner Wayne Weaver in January, will now have a much greater challenge this season to get the Jaguars into the postseason. The Jaguars gave up a second-round pick to acquire Gabbert, which means the team - barring another trade up - will forfeit two prime chances to beef up a poor defense.

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio said he believes he may have pushed players too hard during the season, which caused them to struggle at the end of the season, reports Vito Stellino, of The Florida Times-Union. "I think we pushed our young guys to the point where they didn't have anything left," Del Rio said. "I've got to do a better job getting my team ready to play their best in December. We got there because we pushed. But in pushing hard, they didn't have anything left at the end of the year."

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio called trade reports surrounding WR Mike Sims-Walker "garbage," according to The Associated Press. Del Rio lashed out Monday, Oct. 11, at reports that suggested Sims-Walker is on the trading block. "I actually called out one of the people that was involved in some of that being spread because that's garbage," Del Rio said. "False, not credible and it's disappointing to see stuff like that just go out be thrown out there haphazardly without anybody checking any sources ... We like the way he's working. There are no issues here. There are some being manufactured outside the building."

Jacksonville Jaguars OG Vincent Manuwai, who was recently demoted to the second team, said he knows he must fight to keep his job, particularly with the addition of OG Justin Smiley, according to Vito Stellino, of the Florida Times-Union. "I never shy away from competition," Manuwai said. "When they run fourth-and-1 on my side, I love it. Some guys are afraid of it." Head coach Jack Del Rio was blunt when talking about Manuwai. "I think Vinny still has a ways to go. I think Vinny's working at it. He's got his weight down. He's trying, but he needs to play better. I think he knows that. He's working hard at it," Del Rio said.

ESPN.com reports Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio denied Tuesday, Jan. 12, that he has been made an offer by the University of Southern California to become the school's next head coach.

We're busy at work, trying to build this thing strong."

Vito Stellino, of The Florida Times-Union, reports Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio has become more involved with the team's defensive unit this offseason, aiding defensive coordinator Mel Tucker. "He's going to be a great asset for us as a coordinator and strong in the secondary (Tucker is also the secondary coach), and I will be more directly involved with him. But we're excited about what we can do if we pull together," Del Rio said.
